Tickets finally on sale. Have gone straight to open sale due to late announcement.

I’m working most of that day, thankfully.
Sorry, but Millwall can remain on my (long) list of unvisited grounds!
Anyone else braving it?
I went to the play-off game there many years ago, and can honestly say it’s the safest ground I’ve ever been to going by Supporters Club coach.
The police escort was superb; motorcycle police and vans escorting us in, and stopping outside and blocking off pubs where the locals had gathered ready to hurl insults while coach, still escorted by more bikes and vans hurtled safely past.
At the ground you drive into a big fenced compound outside the away end, a good 50 yards or so from the baboons hanging on the wire hurling more insults.
And safely into the ground. The return journey the same.
Now if you decide to go independently by car or train it may be a different matter.
Now if you decide to go independently by car or train it may be a different matter. I’ve been several times independently. Got the tube from Whitechapel to Surrey Quays & walked to the ground (takes about 15 minutes) – once we were even brave enough to go in the pub nearest the tube stop.
Both the estate you walk through & that pub were absolute dives but never got a hint of trouble even in that play off game
After the game, the police escort you all the way back to surrey quays but there were never any groups of millwall hanging about trying to kick off
No doubt other supporters may have had different experiences but I’d have no hesitation gettin the tube there again
